Hero Memories

At times, we do want to look back on our lives and remember the moments that have been precious to us. Unlike the movie endings, it's rare to have such moments that would make us heroes. If only we had not always been concerned about the very next moment of taking a decision, maybe we would have taken some drastic decisions in our lives. But as of now, how many memories do we really have that would make us feel like a hero?

What have I done in the last two years? I can fake it and not be honest with myself to tell you how much I have learned. What would I do with this learning? I might tell you that I might make better decisions in life now. But wouldn't that be true in any case, anyway? We are growing old, we are becoming wiser. I have lived for 27 years yet and it's still tough to tell you some of my memories with excitement on my face. The ones that I would tell you about though, had been the tough decisions to make. Those were the ones that one would make not thinking about the side effects of it.

What's the point of making normal decisions? It's not about someone remembering us when we are gone. It's also not about having memories that we can tell others. But if there are memories that we can look back at and feel the same excitement as we had when we lived those, I feel it's worth making those memories. Often times we are given the choice between making a normal decision and a crazy one. Almost every time a normal decision is the sane one. Almost every time we would feel like we would lose something if we made a crazy decision. Yet make that decision. Such would be the ones that would make some abnormal memories. After all, living for so many years, a normal life, I certainly believe it has been boring.

Our lives could also have such memorable moments that some of the really good movies ever made have. We might never match with an ending of a movie, but it's not always only about the ending.

There is not much that we could lose that we are not gonna lose anyway.

Let's stop making normal memories in life, stop following timelines, achieving milestones, accomplishing missions and finishing levels. If one life is long, it doesn't have to be lived as only one life.
